Why do WRPGs always portray organised religion in a negative light?

Because it makes perfect sense that you would have a literal army of minions and influential individuals to mercilessly kill as they are so devoted/brainwashed and will not see reason as they believe themselves not only in the right, but right because god is on their side. It's like asking why a cyberpunk or more modern setting games has you go against the evil corporation.

I guess Castlevania since Jesus power Belmont bloodlines murder a personification of evil and death itself in almost all the games

Cause it's mostly filled with left wing people

Without a single exception in recorded history, ever human tribe came up with an idea of god or gods despite being isolated from each other. But apparently it doesn't count becaue they gave god different names. Fedorian logic.

Ricky Gervais is a fucking asshole.

He is no different from Christians who constantly rub in your face that GOD EXISTS YOU CANT DO THIS WITHOUT GOD, GOD DOESN'T LIKE THIS SO FUCK YOUR LIFE

Everything he fucking says is GOD DOESN'T EXIST GOD DOESN'T EXIST. He's such a hypocrite.

The fact that not a single aspect of the game, plot, or lore in any way reflects a christian dichotomy. You're injecting the context all on your own, sperg.

Ok, but this could do without the awful flowery language that reeks of a 23 year old social studies graduate.

Because "church bad" is entry level "look how daring and controversial we are!"

Christ, imagin missing the point this badly. You and your religion are not special. Humanity has been amusing itself with stories since time out of mind. The Greeks and the Norse and the chinks are just as misguided as you.

religion is conservative and they hate conservatives.

I'd rather be surrounded by people telling me I'm gonna burn in hell everyday than a single one of you fucking smug atheists, why do you talk down to anyone else or act smug as if you have some profound intelligence? If you had any fucking neurons firing in that primordial skull of yours you'd realize the knowledge we have now is insignificant to make any kind of conclusions based on existence. Watch the fucking news and come to the realization you're just a hairless ape, look how often our "advanced" species kills one another over simple ideologies, not always religious, even political. You stupid mother fuckers need to realize you're one step ahead of fucking chimps, soley because we can communicate effectively and manipulate our environment. We're all a joke, quit acting like you're exempt faggot.

Ironically, the Holy Bible acknowledges that other gods can exist, but it is a sin to worship them regardless if they do exist or not.

>implying I don't believe in all those 3000 gods
Except for the flying spaghetti faggot. Fuck him and his fedora followers.

It's insanity. The sheer level of disrespect you have to retain for centuries old, civilization building religion demonstrates narcissism at its peak.

Did you guys know that Holy Trinity is a complete fabrication by Vatican and that Bible in no way suggests that Jesus and Holy Spirit are somehow equal to God?
It's such a liberal interpretation of the source material that it borders on "Squall died on disc 1".

Because a lot of Western RPGs are vaguely based on medieval Western Europe, where the church often represented a stage of fear mongering and repression in order to regulate the masses.

Sometimes the impact of it is left ambiguous though. Like Dragon Age, where the Chantry's influence does both good and bad in the world, depending on what's being done with it.

I'm not a theist, but people who are 100% commit anti-theists are unironically more retarded than someone who believes a space genie created everything. Because at least the space genie gives A possible answer to the universe came to be, while "hard science" types just believe what they hear from scientists, who have gone on record to state they don't really have any objective answers once you get to brass tax.

They did that because parentage was the only way they could understand how they were here. And when you start talking about the beginning of man in a society that thinks the Earth is flat and the center of the universe of course they're going to start thinking First Daddy made everything else.

Fact is we're only here because the conditions for life to form was an extremely lucky roll of several million dice, one of countless rolls on countless planets. If it hadn't worked we wouldn't be here to make up primitive stories to explain why we're here.

How was church today, lads?

>substance of his claims
Just because there happen to be a lot of gods doesn't make true that none of them exist. The man is a self-described militant atheist. A lowly worm. Banned me from his Twitter for me saying I was a little tired of him saying God doesn't exist.

About 90% of catholic beliefs have nothing to do with the bible. Its just reskinned paganism

how is making up an answer in anyway less retarded than saying i don't know.

Yeah, it's okay to attack the majority. White people, christianity, straight people etc. White men aren't a majority but they're okay to attack too because they have more systemic power. Also don't you remember all those catholic priests who allegedly raped those little boys and girls? See, all of christianity is evil. Ignore the literal muslim grooming gangs making entire houses full of child rape.

I like to think God is like that Universe thing in Futerama.

There should be a subversive game where the church isn’t evil and, nvm that’s too edgy.

The reason you're not burning in hell right now is because God is coddling you and trying to get you to do the right thing. Hell is absence from God, and that's why it's torturous. It's not some malicious place He puts souls that he doesn't like; it's when He walks away from someone unwilling to be saved, and the repurcussions thereof.

Because they're made by gaytheists who can't into understanding religion. Also that's the most retarded quote I've ever heard.

They also made god up.

Without a single exception in recorded history every human tribe waged war, raped and pillaged other tribes.

Just because everybody did it doesn't mean it's good.

It's realistic.

Actually there is an exception. There is one ethnic group that has literally never waged war on anyone. You're not gonna like it, but it's
gypsies

But the terms & conditions in your god's contract clash with the ones for getting into valhalla
What do I do now?

This trope is common because, generally, the church of the organised religion tends to be at least hypocritical. Most religions preach peace but at the same time, they are used to justify war. In Europe, many of the churches collect money and then spend it on fancy clothes, massive buildings, and extravagant clothes for themselves. What good does any of this do for an all powerful God? Little of it goes to helping the needy the church helps.

You have the Catholics that the leadership protects and allows their fellows to molest and rape children. But they are supposed to protect the weak and be paragons of virtue. I'm not saying they all do, but enough do and the catholic church clearly don't do enough to punish these activities. Typically they just send them off to the middle of nowhere and let the abuse continue.

Other religions of the world tend to get a pass because the writers don't know enough about those religions to properly pass judgment on them in their game. Or in some cases, they fear being attacked for criticism of that religion.

is there no way to call for the mocking of a belief with out assuming superiority to those who hold it? cause i think all humans suck but this sky genie bullshit needs to get called out and stopped in it's tracks

If god didn't want Adam and Eve to sin we shouldn't have put that fucking apple tree there

but I didn't make any fucking deal

My interpretation is that Churches, and most organised insitutions with hella influence, generally haven't been good historically. Catholic Church, orthodox, whatever.

If i wanted a tip id wait tables

That's probably how he really is. Only fedoras actually think he's just some old guy floating above Earth.

Wow, I've never seen seething on such a cosmic level.

>Just because there happen to be a lot of gods doesn't make true that none of them exist
I never made that claim. It's just a fact that not a single God has ever been DEMONSTRATED to exist objectively. Every god/angel/demon/daemon/spirit is 100% subjective. Its self evident unless you believe in superstition rather than critical reasoning, which is what religion (especially christianity) teaches.

Bro i really don't wanna get into a religion debate on Yea Forums, but the whole concept of salvation is flawed. The original sin thing is absolute bullshit. Why on earth should we have to pay for the sins for our supposed ancestor. Its literally the same as white guilt
